Andrew Punshon

A lesser known name but fierce talent hailing from Sunderland, Andrew Punshon long dominated the North East fight circuit before coming into BAMMA for BAMMA 9.

At the age of 18, Andrew Punshon was invited to partake in a professional MMA fight. With 11 years Taekwondo and 8 years kickboxing experience under his belt, he took up the challenge. Unfortunately he lost by decision but did fall in love with the sport.

Several months later he had another go, fighting against Ian Parker, knocked him out in just 5 seconds. He has continued this trend with first round finishes as his trademark and a history of finishing opponents off quickly – often in under less than a minute.

His two fastest knock-out times are 4 seconds and 5 seconds into the fight, and he will take on Jack Marshman in BAMMA 10.
